That Justification is remission of sins, is generally received,1 the great Question is about imputation of Christs righteousness (but of that afterwards) only here may be a Doubt, how we can properly say, That Justification is pardon of sin, for a man is not justified, in that he is pardoned, but rather it supposeth him guilty: It is true, Remission of sin doth suppose a man faulty in himself, but because Christ did take our sins upon him, and we are accepted of through him, as our Surety, therefore may remission of sin be well called Justification: Indeed pardon can never be called an inherent righteousness, or a qualitative Justice (but rather it opposeth it) but it may be called a Legal or Judicial righteousness, because God for the obedience and satisfaction of Christ, doth account of us as righteous, having pardoned our sin; and withal imputing ⟨p. 18⟩Christs righteousness to us,2 both which make up our Justification▪ For the understanding therefore of the first particular, viz.
